We are constantly improving our products for web, providing all the necessary set of components to build reports. Today we will talk about the differences between the Flash designer

Flash designer
and HTML5 designer

HTML5 designer
Despite the similarities in terms of functionality, the designers of these reports have some differences. Flash and HTML5 report designers available in the following products – Reports Ultimate, Reports.Web, Reports.Java, Reports.PHP, Reports.Flex. However, the HTML5 report designer is also part of Stimulsoft Reports.JS.

It all starts with the system requirements for the design. The Flash report designer requires Adobe Flash Player version 11 and later. The HTML5 report designer requires only a web browser.

Integration of report designers in the project go the following way.
